Not everyone has 200-400$ to throw around. Especially to play a single game. I wouldn't take the listed specs as the ones you'll actually need to play though. Its early dev so optimization and a majority of the polish is a at least a year out.

'well i mean thats my point. theres other options that are cheaper and work just as fine.

Spending like 800 bucks back in the day doesnt = you having good fps forever. Nor does it entitle you towards it. Just spend 500 on a 4070 or something smh.

Bro you are not helpful at all. Stop commenting.
A 2080 should be more than enough.

It's a VRam issue, 2000's series cards like the 2080S would be fine, but nvidia cheaped out on how much VRam they get.

Game looks pretty darn bad, dunno why a RTX 2080 Super is required as minimum. Reeks of poor optimization.

The requirements are presumably for when the game is actually done, not this sort of alpha it sits in right now where the visuals are unpolished.

I'm not sure if this is supposed to be an debated point or not, but the lack of convenience for buying a video card for 'playing a single game' isn't really accurate anyway. Since there are a number of games that sit at or above the 2080S for minimum and required. You wouldn't make a 200-400 dollar purchase for 'just a single game' it improves any games you aren't running at high or max graphical settings already, and opening you up to future proofed games.

People used to complain about games that required something stronger than a 1080TI like two years ago. The steamdeck has the equivalent graphics power of a 1080TI in a puny, mobile package.

Unless you're an enthusiast, you'll probably only buy a graphics card every 2-3 generations, maybe 4 generations if you run at 1080p/60fps. You're buying for half a decade of games usually.

I got a 2080, it still runs everything smoothly at 1080 and should do for a couples years yet. Unless there's absolute compatibility issues (like some games vulcan requirement vs old cards), i probably wont upgrade again till the 60xx series.

A 2080 is only marginally better than a 1080, and that came out how many decades ago?

Based on the state of the pre-alpha teaser its years away from being playable so the 50xx series should be out by then.

Ah yes, the GTX 1080 Ti came out "multiple decades" ago, lmao.

I think you need to google what a decade even is before you comment on stuff you don't seem to understand.

A 2080 is more then enough for any game and if it isn't, then that means the game is horrendously optimised or we're 10 years in the future.

I hope the store page requirements for Forever Winter are just poorly educated guesses because if a 2080 ti is actually required just for the game to even play at 30fps low 720p, then they have royally screwed up as a development studio and this game will have a tiny playerbase since no one but those rich enough to upgrade their PCs every year or two will be able to play it.

For reference, the most commonly used GPU on Steam is the RTX 3060, which is weaker then a 1080 Ti.

Anyway, this game has a really cool concept, but cool concepts ain't frames per second and if the game runs really terribly for most people it will be a flop.

/whoosh

Optimization happens AFTER all of the game features/content are installed and running and all of the biggest bugs have been crushed. That is the only point Optimization means a single damn.

[TeaVice]

Not even targetting the most used GPU's on the market is insane.
Do they want to even sell the game?

[Brenec4]

bro the game has barily been in develupment, chill out

[Quitex]

Tssssk. The local elecctronics store does sell 4070 as the flagship. It also sells the GTX1660 Super as "the Standard card for work, ai and gaming".

Another thing: Will this work on Linux / Steamdeck?

lol that's the worst time to leave optimisation till. It's the equivalent of procrastinating about a school project till the night before. Any decent project will have it baked into the development cycle otherwise it's like trying to use a bandaid on a bullet wound.

I don't think you understand what optimization is. Its trimming the fat. Some of it will be done in the middle of the project. But its when everything is in place that true optimization can begin. Its the easier way, and its more efficient. A more fitting analogy is icing on a cake. Its not meant to fix the game. Just to make it more playable.

It's insane, clearly they are aware that it is not optimized and they will not try it anymore because they tried already. Lazy devs if the system reqs are true, might be big flop because of this, otherwise looks really good.

the game is not even out yet and they are still working on it, depending on how its made it doesn't make sense to optimize things that aren't finished. it might be old at the point of my comment or it still be as bad, we will have to see, if only 5 people can run the game they have a huge problem

idk about you guys but i am still rocking a i5 and 1650
